Cheng Su ran up the stairs with joy, screaming all the way, and Qi Taiguo got up to greet her when he heard the commotion.
Before he could step out, Cheng Su threw herself at him, hugged him tightly, and kissed him several times with excitement almost driving her crazy.
"What’s going on, what got you this happy?" Qi Taiguo had never seen her this delighted.
"Look!" Cheng Su handed him the paper she held.
Qi Taiguo took it and saw an acceptance letter?
He looked at her in astonishment.
Cheng Su’s face was all smiles, her eyes sparkling, and she said, "Surprised, delighted, happy?"
Anyway, she was truly happy!
Like a child, Qi Taiguo burst into laughter, pulled her over, and kissed her: "Surprised, delighted, happy. Congratulations, my university student wife!"
Cheng Su screamed again and snuggled up to him like a koala bear.
Qi Taiguo embraced her, saying, "Alright, alright, look at you, isn’t this something we expected?"
Cheng Su replied, "Even expectations have surprises. This is my first achievement in over twenty years of life, can’t I be happy for a bit longer?"
Qi Taiguo chuckled and said, "You got it wrong, this isn’t your first achievement."
"What?"
"Your first achievement was marrying me, the second was making several business deals thrive, this is at best your third," Qi Taiguo raised an eyebrow and said.
"Hmm, sounds about right," Cheng Su thought for a moment, then realized and playfully punched him, saying, "Hmph, you’re just finding ways to praise yourself."
Qi Taiguo kissed her again with a smile, saying, "My greatest achievement was marrying you. I’m proud of you, my wife!"
Cheng Su laughed so hard her eyes squinted into lines, saying, "At least you have some self-awareness."
"Now that you’re a university student, I better work hard to catch up, or I’ll be a big step behind!" Qi Taiguo brushed her pretty brow.
Cheng Su understood what he meant, in a few days, he would be heading out to study, so she said, "Alright, let’s work hard together!"
Their hands tightly clasped together, fingers intertwined.
Returning to the factory with a buoyant mood, Ying Xiaoya and the others quickly sensed Cheng Su’s happiness and naturally asked what good news was there?
Cheng Su showed them the acceptance letter, Ying Xiaoya saw it and joyfully jumped up.
"President Cheng, congratulations!" Xiao Pinshan said sincerely. Not everyone can get into university, but this young woman did it. "Xiao Zhu and the team worked overtime last night, adjusting the formula proportion. Please taste the latest jam."
Cheng Su looked surprised, glanced at the jam on the table, and picked up a bowl and spoon to taste.
The jam was sweet but not greasy, the fruit pulp tender, and it seemed to still offer its original taste, with a tangy and sweet flavor that passed through the throat, filled with expectancy and hope, like a woman thinking of her beloved.
The taste of love.
Cheng Su opened her eyes, yes, that’s the feeling she wanted.
"How is it?" Xiao Pinshan asked carefully.
Cheng Su finally noticed that Xiao Zhu and the team had gathered around her, each sporting dark circles under their eyes, eagerly watching her, hands clenched into fists.
Cheng Su gave a thumbs up: "Passed, it can go to the competition!"
Xiao Zhu and other technicians cheered loudly, their days of hard work finally got recognized, Xiao Pinshan also let out a long sigh, feeling increasingly the need to handle business cautiously, because the boss’s standards were too stringent.
Seeing everyone with smiles on their faces, Cheng Su’s heart soared, thinking of the magpies in the morning; not only did good news arrive, it was double happiness!
